Finding solace in the UAE: Where residents go to reflect

From beaches to deserts, UAE residents find unique spots to unwind and think

In the bustling environment of the UAE, residents often seek solace in personal retreats to escape the noise of everyday life. Whether it’s a quiet beach, a serene park, or the vast desert, these places offer a chance to pause and reflect. Aaliya Alzarooni reports on how different individuals find their own space to think and recharge.

For Meera Aldhaheri, a 23-year-old Emirati and Sorbonne University student, the beach serves as her sanctuary. Amidst her busy schedule, she finds peace walking along the shore or simply listening to the waves, allowing her mind to settle without the pressure of productivity.

Similarly, Aldana Almansoori, a Sorbonne University graduate, prefers the calming environment of Masdar City for her reflective walks. The expansive park provides her with the space to relax and organize her thoughts, while a visit to the salon offers a different kind of mental break.

For Khalifa Alharbi, a 21-year-old university student, the desert is his refuge. The quiet and open space under the stars allow him to gain perspective and clarity, away from the distractions of daily life.

These personal retreats highlight the diverse ways UAE residents find peace and clarity in their busy lives, underscoring the importance of having a place to unwind and reflect.
